Detail: Raglane Entertainment is hugely proud to announce, for the first time ever in Ireland, the incredible Jeff Dunham, ventriloquist extraordinaire, at The Grand Canal Theatre, Dublin on Sunday April 18th, 2010 for one show only. Tickets for this one off show are on sale now through ticketmaster and usual outlets nationwide. Originally scheduled for The Olympia Theatre - tickets will still remain valid for the new venue.
Jeff Dunham is not just one of the funniest humans on the planet but the ringleader of a cast of comedic characters of his own creation like Walter the grumpy retiree; the beer-swilling, NASCAR loving and resolutely redneck Bubba J; the furry and manic Peanut; Jose Jalapeno, the spicy pepper from south of the border; and the bumbling skeletal Achmed the Dead Terrorist. Taking his cues from the stuff of everyday life, people he and we all know and the world around us, Dunham invests his suitcase posse of sidekicks with such believable and lovable personality as they banter, quip and interact that audiences frequently forget that the characters are crafted by Dunham’s own hand and comedic brilliance.
Dunham regularly sells out huge arena tours across the US, Europe and Canada, playing to 10,000 capacity audiences worldwide. His performance at Dublin’s Olympia Theatre will be a hugely intimate show, a very rare opportunity for fans to catch Dunham up close and personal. This will most definitely be a sell –out show and with 360 million YouTube views and 4 million DVD sales under his belt, Dunham’s show at The Olympia is set to be the comedy ‘had to be there’ moment of 2010.
Dunham’s Achmed the Dead Terrorist clip is the 4th most watched video across the internet with 196.5 million worldwide views as well as #2 in clips on You Tube that viewers have added as a favorite.
